Would like to get opinions on which is better the transport 240svt cat or the shoalwater s23 cat. Would be doing lots of wade fishing in matagorda and crossing the rough lower Laguna madre in port mansfield I would also like to run offshore to troll for some kings and dorado and even go deep drop out of it ... Would just like some opinions or any feedback would be greatly appreciated !!! Thanks!!!

Both boats are fantastic. Many love to deal directly with the manufacture but lets face it. Dealers are key to a good customer experience as they the 1st point of contact for the end user just like every other industry.
I pulled the trigger on a SW cat23 back in Jan and love the boat and is a great platform for most of Texas gulf coast waters and a fantastic boat for wading. Its all about how you set it up and the aspect of rigging in regards to performance however taking on offshore swells is not what it is designed for. Haynie, Shoalwater and Transport are all great Texas boats but the Shoalwater was best for me for performance, budget and layout.
If your looking for a inshore, offshore cat boat then you might check out the Shallowsport X3
Good luck
